June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

What's in your pants? A PlayStation Vita, naturally!

Ah, the Japanese subtlety when it comes to advertising. See what we could have won, if only another couple of million westerners had picked up a Vita! The latest rush of games get a nod too, with Oreshika 2, Freedom Wars, Monster Hunter Frontier, Toukiden and God Eater 2, and of course, he's playing on one of the nice-coloured models!

If anyone ever sees a Vita ad on western TV, let me know because I need some unicorn poop to feed my griffin with. However in the west if some lad whipped out a Vita in the changing room, I'm sure the local jocks would pummel him into oblivion pretty quickly.

The ad marks the start of Sony's Japanese summer campaign, highlighting the 29 games they get to play over the holidays. So, expect lots more clips in a similar vein. In the west, Sony's Vita marketing team (some sad sap called Gerald) will probably hide the last few remaining Vita units in shops' stock rooms and claim it is part of a guerrilla campaign.
